Answer:
The third choice is the one you want
Step-by-step explanation:
If we are to write the equation of a line perpendicular to WX, we first must determine what the slope of the WX is, because the line perpendicular to WX has a slope that is the flip of the slope of WX with the opposite sign. Solving for y takes care of finding the slope of WX:
2x + y = -5 so
y = -2x - 5
The slope is -2. That means that the reciprocal slope is 1/2. Using that slope along with the coordinates x = -1 and y = -2, we first write the line using point-slope form and then solve it for y. Start by filling in the m, the x value and the y value:

Getting rid of the double negatives gives us:

Distributing then gives us:

And finally solving for y (I am going to express the 2 on the left as 4/2 when I move it by subtraction in order to add those fractions):

And the final equation in slope-intercept form is:

I think it is: y=0.375x+3.125
a=(5-2)/(5- -3)=3/8=0.375
Find b
(5)=0.375(5)+b
(5)=1.875+b
5-1.875=b
b=3.125
Answer:
rate of change = 1.5 dollars per mile
Step-by-step explanation:
cost for travelling 1 mile = 3.75
cost 2 miles = 5.25
cost 3 miles = 6.75
cost 4 miles = 8.25
0/2=0 because anything divided by zero is zero.
Sometimes it helps to put a number line in front of you. If one number is to the left of the other number on the number line, it's a lower number. If one number is to the right of the other number on the number line, it is greater.
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
4 is a solution of x<-5
FALSE: 4 is not greater than -5
-3 is a solution of y>-2
FALSE: -3 is not greater than -2
y≤3 includes 3 as a possible solution
TRUE: 3 is less than OR EQUAL to 3
Hope this helps! :)
